Painted Glass altered roundel

September 10, 2018 14 Comments

Sometimes a stamp image is so striking it’s hard to think of new ways to use it.  For me, the images in the Painted Glass Stamp Set from Stampin’ Up! fall into this category.  So today, with three design challenges for inspiration, I decided to try something different with the roundel from that set.

Thank you card with roundel and sentiment from the Painted Glass Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!

OK it may not be obvious, but I am happy with the minor adjustments I made to this pretty image.  But first things first…

THE COLOURS

The Paper Players Challenge PP409 - Colors (September 9-14, 2018)My colours were inspired by the Paper Players challenge PP409.  Blackberry Bliss, Crumb Cake and Mint Macaron were compulsory.

I felt that the colour palette was rather muted and so decided that my fourth colour would be Crushed Curry.

This would add a little brightness and warmth.  I suppose with the cooler mornings now I’m definitely feeling the approach of autumn, and that is finding it’s way into my colour choices.

THE LAYOUT

Freshly Made Sketches Challenge FMS353 (September 5-10, 2018)The layout was inspired by the second challenge.  This one is from Freshly Made Sketches.

FMS353 is very minimal and at first glance I wasn’t even sure I liked it.  However, looking at the ideas from the Freshly Made Sketches Design Team I realised I could use a little poetic licence.

So I decided use a sentiment and simple image in place of the rectangle across the bottom.

THE TECHNIQUE

As You See It Challenge AYSI184 - Back To Basics (September 7-19, 2018)The inspiration for the technique (or perhaps lake of them) was a third challenge.  This one is from As You See It, AYSI184 – Back To Basics.

When I thought about when I first started papercrafting I didn’t have lots of tools.  I certainly didn’t know any of the techniques that I now use without a second thought.

So for today’s project I’d avoid my punches, Big Shot, heat embossing, even ribbon and embellishments.  This project will be all about stamps, ink and paper.

THE ROUNDEL

I began with a Blackberry Bliss ink pad and the roundel image from the Painted Glass Stamp Set.  I stamped the whole image on a layer of Very Vanilla Card.  Then I stamped the image across the corner of another layer of Very Vanilla Card, and on the front of a Very Vanilla Medium Envelope.

Using the fine tip of a Blackberry Bliss Stampin’ Write Marker from the Regals Collection, I then added a little extra detail to each of the images.

First on alternate ‘petals’ in the centre I drew a few horizontal lines.  Then on the flowers around the outside I added some dots to make the scallop look twisted.

With the alterations done I then simply coloured in some of the sections using the Mint Macaron marker from the Subtles Collection,  This was followed by the Crumb Cake marker from the Neutrals Collection and finally the Crushed Curry marker from the Regals Collection.

FINISHING THE PROJECT

With the colouring all done I could start to assemble the project.

First I used my Stampin’ Trimmer to cut and score a piece of Blackberry Bliss Card.  Then I folded it along the scored line and sharpened the crease with a Bone Folder.

Next, using Multipurpose Liquid Glue I attached a layer of Crushed Curry Card to the front.  This was followed by the Very Vanilla layer with the complete roundel image.  Then I lined the card base with the other Very Vanilla layer.

Finally the simple thank you sentiment from the Painted Glass Stamp Set was stamped onto a strip of Very Vanilla Card with Blackberry Bliss ink.  Once I’d attached that to the front of the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals, my project was complete.

I really like the simplicity of this project.  I also like the way that the roundel no longer screams ‘stained glass window’.  I’m not sure whether that’s because of the more muted colours, or if it’s because of my very minor additions.  Either way I love the result.  What do you think?

Here’s some links to previous blog posts featuring project using the Painted Glass Stamp Set.

    Very pretty, Tracy! I too like the clean look and simplicity of the design. I like Crushed Curry as your fourth colour too – it adds even more richness and pops the darker colours too. Sometimes it’s good to go back to basics and see what happens. Thank you for joining us at both As You See It and The Paper Players.

    This is a beautiful card and perfect for our challenges…you used your stamps, inks and paper in such a lovely way! The addition of the Crushed Curry makes for a pretty fall palette with the Paper Players colors! Thanks for sharing this with both challenges, the Paper Players as well as As You See It!

    Tracy, you caught the flavour of our Back to the Basics challenge perfectly with a lovely clean & simple design using only stamps, ink and paper! I love how you turned the stained class design into a rondel with warm fall colours. Crushed Curry was a great addition to the colour palette. Thanks for joining us at As You See It!
